Introduction
Introducing EthIR LAN
Clarinet EthIR LAN provides single and multiple infrared network access and
information beaming points allowing users to connect cell phones or handheld PCs to
their network and server using safe, cordless infrared technology. Once installed,
EthIR LAN is transparent to the user; that is you can receive and transmit information
just as you would with a wired connection.
This document was written for single port ESB101/301/3011b/1000 and multi-port
ESB208/216/608. The users of other EthIR LAN models shall refer other EthIR LAN
user manuals although many concepts in this document are useful.
User Profile
This documentation is for IT Managers and Network Administrators. It assumes that
as an EthIR LAN user you possess basic knowledge and expertise in the following
networking areas:
•Concepts - such as network management
•Structure - network structure in general and your network structure in
particular, including hardware, software, and topology
•General standards and protocols - such as 10/100Base-T and SNMP
How this Guide Is Organized
This EthIR LAN User Guide provides detailed instructions for installing, configuring
and using EthIR LAN. It is comprised of this chapter and three additional chapters
and appendices as follows:
•Chapter 2, Installation, provides information on the components that compose
EthIR LAN and provides installation instructions for each component. In
addition, it describes how to use EthIR LAN.
•Chapter 3, Configuring EthIR LAN, provides instructions for configuring the

Appendices
APPENDIX A - instructs users on the procedures for installing the infrared drivers
on Windows 95 notebooks that did not originally ship with the drivers.
APPENDIX B - instructs users on the need for having this adapter as a part of the
network configuration and how to install it if it isn’t there.
APPENDIX C - explains how to check if “Tranxit” (incompatible with IrLAN,
ClarinetIR, and Direct Cable Connection communication) is installed and, if so, how
to disable it.
APPENDIX D - provides instructions for users to connect to a particular networked
environment with their notebook to make full use of network services as well as
Internet connectivity.
APPENDIX E - instructs the user on ways to dramatically improve the connection
speed of their Windows 95 notebooks to the EthIR LAN system (applicable only to
specific notebook models).
APPENDIX F – provides step-by-step instructions on connecting your notebook,
handheld PCs, and Palm IIIx, IIIxe, V, Vx and VII Organizers to the EthIR LAN
system using IrLAN protocols or Cable Connection.
